Remote-Dev

The Remote-Dev extension is similar to Microsoft's Remote-SSH in that it allows you to use a remote machine as your development environment via SSH. The differences are as follows:

• The backend of Remote-Dev relies on a Web IDE Server based on Code-OSS, the IDE does not need to be consistent with the Server version.
• The extension can be used in any VSCode, VSCodium, and other IDEs based on Code-OSS secondary development (VSCode Engine > 1.54.0) Windows\Linux system.
